No issue ( java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -9) about androidstudioandrobolectric HOT 5 OPEN

Looks like there are issues with the styling. Did you add the shadow-v4 dependencies?

from androidstudioandrobolectric.

Indeed the problem is the missing styling. I have a multimodule project setup, where all my business logic (activities, fragments) and presentation layer components (style, resources) are in a android library ('core' in your example), and a very thin app module for configuration of the core library.
In the app module i didn't have a styles.xml, in the app modules AndroidManifest.xml I set the style to a style defined in the core library.
When i am now adding an Activity and a layout to the app module without defining a style in the app module, the tests don't run. This causes the StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.

When I am adding a styles.xml in the app module and set the parent of the style to style defined in the core library the tests are not running. There is an "endless loop" (waited 5 minutes) while trying to run the task testDebug, it doesnt finish.
Edit: After 7 min i got following exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

After adding a styles.xml to the app module and changing the style in the apps AndrodiManifest.xml to the app modules style the test works.
But this is not the way i want to solve the problem, because the app should use the style defined in the core library module. Is this possible?

I can't reproduce it. I deleted the style.xml from the app module and did a ./gradlew clean app:test and the tests run like expected. Best would be if your fork this project and show me how you have setup your styles to get this issue.

I forked the project but cannot reproduce it for now, too. Maybe I have to add more and more "features" from my real project.The main difference i think is using the v4-support library.

Perhaps same issue like robolectric/robolectric#1736 ?
